Part/Material Cleaning instructions Recommendations
Burner grates / porce-
lain enamel on cast
iron
¡ Wait until the appliance has
cooled.
¡ Carefully lift off the burner
grates and place them on a pro-
tected surface.
¡ Scrub with a non-metallic brush
and soapy water. Carefully
clean around the rubber feet. If
the rubber feet come off, the
grates may scratch the rangetop
surface.
¡ Dry the burners grates com-
pletely. If there are water
droplets or damp patches on the
cooktop when you start cooking,
the enamel may be damaged.
¡ Place the burner grates in their
proper position.
Recommended cleaners:
¡ Non-abrasive cleaners:
– Dish soap and hot water.
– Fantastik® 1
¡ Mild abrasive cleaners:
– Bon Ami® 1

¡ For stubborn stains:
– Soap-filled steel wool pad.
– Other degreaser
¡ For metal deposits from aluminum or copper pans:

Important notes:
¡ The grates are heavy; use care when you lift them up.
¡ Acidic and sugar-laden spills deteriorate the enamel. Re-
move soil immediately after the appliance has cooled
enough to touch.
¡ Blisters, crazing or chips are common due to the ex-
treme temperatures on the grate fingers and rapid tem-
perature changes.
¡ If you use abrasive cleaners too vigorously or too often
they may eventually mar the enamel.
¡ DO NOT clean in a self-cleaning oven.
